From Cursory examination:
1. Vigiles is a destroyer but is categorized as a frigate.
2. Barnabas and its pirate variant are cruisers but are categorized as destroyers.
3. Sumpter has a maintenance cost of 0, which causes it to have a DP cost of 0; which causes issues during the deployment phase.
4. 13th BG Onslaught appears even without the relevant mod.
Overall, I think ship balance is getting there, with obvious exceptions for superships like the Djoeng and Vagabond.
There's a couple of spelling and grammatical issues, particularly with built-in "logistical overhaul" hullmods.
"When no other ship beside this ship or X other, increase Maximum Fuel Tank by flat 500% , Monthly supplies maintanance by Xs , and Burn Drive by X ."
"While your fleet has no more than X ships, , increase Maximum Fuel capacity 500%, monthly supplies cost by X , and Burn speed by X."
A lot of the ships here feature salvage gantries, which I understand is a theme choice, but I'd argue the Ripenses, Sumpter, and Vagabond don't need it.
The Ripenses is made for line combat like its sister the Comitatenses, the Sumpter is too small (and arguably too spammable and would overlap with the Shepherd), and the Vagabond is already loaded with its logistics hullmod.
